Check out the Virtual Tour!

AN ECOLOGICAL ADVENTURE ON ONE OF
FLORIDA'S BRIDGELESS BARRIER ISLANDS

 

Tired of the typical vacation? Want to get back in touch with nature? Want privacy and seclusion on a private island that has no roads, cars, stores, restaurants, etc. -- yet is teeming with an abundance of Florida wildlife, fish and fauna? This is a vacation for those who are looking for and want to experience Florida the way it used to be. This is an island with seven miles of nearly deserted dunes and white sand beach and the home is Don Pedro State Park and wildlife preserve.

   

If quiet reading, photography, beach hiking, fishing, star gazing and spectacular sunrises and sunsets is what your tired soul needs, then this may be what you are looking for. This is unquestionably the nicest rental on the island! Other rentals may be cheaper, but not nearly as spacious, private or well-furnished as Casa Paradisio.

Located on a full acre of Gulf-to-Bay privacy and directly adjacent to Don Pedro Wildlife Preserve, no other home on the island offers this kind of privacy. The home is on Placida Bay with a private dock and only 200 yards via a private boardwalk over a picturesque lagoon to the Gulf of Mexico and a private tiki hut on the beach. This home offers seclusion and privacy that is hard to find anywhere. The home was featured in the Sept./Oct. issue of "Florida Travel Magazine" under the article, "Private Hideaways." Listen to the fish jump in the Bay day and night and listen to the Gulf of Mexico surf lull you to sleep as the Gulf breeze gently caresses your body.
